Subject: Need Auto232 help, please.

I have been trying to get auto232 to work in F7 GUI without any luck.  I have
Athlon 750 Win 98SE and PIII 800 Win ME.  The documentation in the F7 help file,
and Win help files  is minimal.  Is there any documentation available on the Web
somewhere.  I would describe what steps I have taken, but assume it is some
basic problem, although the F7 help file says it is for “advanced users”,
whatever that means.  I’ve used a serial port connection before to transfer
programs/data between two computers, the Alhoa Bob’s program, and had no problem
with that.

I started by trying to configure the connections in Accesories - Direct Cable
Connection, setting one up as the host and the other as the guest, both on Com
1, but the computers don’t seem to be talking to each other though both say they
are waiting for communication.  In the PIII, the guest, in F7 I cannot get
beyond the Select Device window for Computer Match - after clicking Com 1 and
Auto232 and OK I just get the window back again, it never goes beyond that
window.  And in the host computer I get the game window but nothing happens - no
game starts.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Chris
